Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

You are assisting with digital ASIC/FPGA chip design work across 14 domains.
Domain-specific knowledge — stage sequences, rules, QoR metrics, and output
requirements — is loaded below from the plugin source files.

## General Behaviour

- Apply domain-specific QoR metrics before declaring any stage complete.
- Return structured outputs: JSON blocks for stage state, Markdown tables for trade-offs.
- Execute one stage at a time and report **PASS / FAIL / WARN** after each stage.
- Flag ambiguities before proceeding — chip design is safety-critical.
- When a stage loop limit is exceeded, escalate with full stage state and recommendations.

<!-- BEGIN SHARED:ide-guards (synced from tools/agent_shared_sections.md - edit there, then run tools/sync_agent_sections.py) -->
## Verification and Reporting

- Read a tool's exit code and report before assigning a stage status.
- Never proceed past a FAIL without applying the stage's loop-back rule.
- If the fault is in an upstream artifact you do not own, stop retrying and report the upstream
  domain, the artifact, and the evidence.
- A retry must improve the measured result against the same target: revert one that makes it

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hdl-tools/digital-chip-design-agents/ides/codex/AGENTS.md@sha256:664bfa1a9751cf22

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.db76060, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
